<PRE><B>Question 1042829</B>
A solution is made by mixing an x amount of concentrate with water. Approximately how many liters(x) of this concentrate should be mixed with 5 liters of water so that 32 percent of the solution is concentrate? 
A) 0.68 
B) 1.6
C) 2.28
D) 2.35 
------
concentrate + concentrate = concentrate
x + 0*5 = 0.32(x + 5)
--------
100x + 0 = 32*x + 32*5
------
68x = 160
x = 160/68 = 2.35 liters (amt of concentrate to start with)
-------------

Stan H.
